Single-cell RNA sequencing analysis of a COVID-19– associated maculopapular rash in a patient with psoriasis treated with ustekinumab

ABSTRACT: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) primarily affects the respiratory system but extrapulmonary manifestations, including the skin, have been well documented. However, transcriptomic profiles of skin lesions have not been performed thus far. Here, we present a single-cell RNA sequencing analysis in a patient with COVID-19 infection with a maculopapular skin rash while on treatment with the interleukin (IL)-12/IL-23 blocker ustekinumab for underlying psoriasis. Results were compared with healthy controls and untreated psoriasis. We found the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) viral entry receptors ACE2 and TMPRSS2 in keratinocytes of the patient with COVID-19, while ACE2 expression was low to undetectable in psoriasis lesions and healthy skin. Among all cell types, ACE2+ keratinocyte clusters showed the highest levels of transcriptomic dysregulation in COVID-19, expressing type 1–associated immune markers such as CXCL9 and CXCL10. In line with a generally type 1–skewed immune microenvironment, cytotoxic lymphocytes showed increased expression of the IFNG gene and other T-cell effector genes, while type 2, type 17, or type 22 T-cell activation was largely absent. Conversely, downregulation of several anti-inflammatory mediators was observed. This first transcriptomic description of a COVID-19-associated rash identifies ACE2+ keratinocytes displaying profound transcriptional changes, and inflammatory immune cells that might help to improve the understanding of SARS-CoV-2-associated skin conditions.

Human cardiac pericytes are susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection

Project description:Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is associated with serious cardiovascular complications, including myocarditis, thrombosis, and dysregulated hemodynamic responses. The mechanism(s) underlying these disease manifestations are incompletely understood. Given a critical role for pericytes in supporting endothelial cell health and maintaining vascular integrity, we hypothesized that infection of pericytes could explain some of the cardiovascular complications of COVID-19. Here, we present evidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in cardiac pericytes in patients with COVID-19 myocarditis. We show that cardiac pericytes are permissive to SARS-CoV-2 infection in organotypic slice and primary cell cultures. SARS-CoV-2 enters cardiac pericytes through an ACE2 and endosomal-dependent mechanism. Consequences of cardiac pericyte infection include upregulation of inflammatory chemokine and cytokine expression, type I interferon signaling, mediators of endothelial constriction, and cell death. Collectively, these data demonstrate that human cardiac pericytes are susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection and suggest a possible role for pericyte infection in the pathogenesis of COVID-19.

SUMOylation restrains the degradation of ACE2 through TOLLIP-mediated selective autophagy to facilitate the host susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection

Project description:Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the causative agent of the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Alongside investigations into the virology of SARS-CoV-2, understanding the host–virus dependencies are vital for the identification and rational design of effective antiviral therapy. Here, we report the dominant SARS-CoV-2 entry receptor, ACE2, conjugates with small ubiquitin-like modifier 3 (SUMO3) through a proteome-wide protein interaction analysis. We further demonstrate that E3 SUMO ligase PIAS4 prompts the SUMOylation and stabilization of ACE2, whereas deSUMOylation enzyme SENP3 reverses this process. Conjugation of SUMO3 with ACE2 at lysine (K) 187 hampers the K48-linked ubiquitination of ACE2, thus suppressing its subsequent cargo receptor TOLLIP-dependent autophagic degradation. Pharmacological intervention of ACE2 SUMOylation blocks the entry of SARS-CoV-2 and viral infection-triggered immune responses. Collectively, our findings suggest selective autophagic degradation of ACE2 orchestrated by SUMOylation and ubiquitination can be targeted to future antiviral therapy of SARS-CoV-2.

ACE2 knockout hinders SARS-CoV-2 propagation in iPS cell-derived airway and alveolar epithelial cells

Project description:Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the causative agent of COVID-19, continues to spread around the world with serious cases and deaths. It has also been suggested that different genetic variants in the human genome affect both the susceptibility to infection and severity of disease in COVID-19 patients. Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) has been identified as a cell surface receptor for SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 entry into cells. The construction of an experimental model system using human iPS cells would enable further studies of the association between viral characteristics and genetic variants. Airway and alveolar epithelial cells are cell types of the lung that express high levels of ACE2 and are suitable for in vitro infection experiments. Here, we show that human iPS cell-derived airway and alveolar epithelial cells are highly susceptible to viral infection of SARS-CoV-2. Using gene knockout with CRISPR-Cas9 in human iPS cells we demonstrate that ACE2 plays an essential role in the airway and alveolar epithelial cell entry of SARS-CoV-2 in vitro. Replication of SARS-CoV-2 was strongly suppressed in ACE2 knockout (KO) lung cells. Our model system based on human iPS cell-derived lung cells may be applied to understand the molecular biology regulating viral respiratory infection leading to potential therapeutic developments for COVID-19 and the prevention of future pandemics.

Distinct mechanisms for TMPRSS2 expression explain organ-specific inhibition of SARS-CoV-2 infection by enzalutamide [ATAC-Seq]

Project description:The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has rapidly become a global public health threat due to the lack of effective drugs or vaccines against SARS-CoV-2. The efficacy of several repurposed drugs has been evaluated in clinical trials. Among these drugs, a second second-generation antiandrogen agent, enzalutamide, was proposed because it reduces the expression of transmembrane serine protease 2 (TMPRSS2), a key component mediating SARS-CoV-2-driven entry into host cells, in prostate cancer cells. However, definitive evidence for the therapeutic efficacy of enzalutamide in COVID-19 is lacking. Here, we evaluated the antiviral efficacy of enzalutamide in prostate cancer cells, lung cancer cells, human lung organoids and SARS-CoV-2-infected Ad-ACE2-transduced Tmprss2 knockout (Tmprss2-KO) and wild-type (WT) mice. TMPRSS2 knockout significantly inhibited SARS-CoV-2 infection in vivo. Enzalutamide effectively inhibited SARS-CoV-2 infection in human prostate cells, however, such antiviral efficacy of enzalutamide was lacking in human lung cells and organoids. Although Tmprss2 knockout effectively blocked SARS-CoV-2 infection in ACE2-transduced mice, Accordingly, enzalutamide showed no antiviral activity due to the AR-independent TMPRSS2 expression in mouse and human lung epithelial cells. Moreover, we observed distinct AR binding patterns between prostate cells and lung cells and a lack of direct binding of AR to TMPRSS2 in human lung cells. Thus, our findings do not support the postulated protective role of enzalutamide in treating COVID-19 through reducing TMPRSS2 expression in lung cells.

SARS-CoV-2 receptor ACE2 is an interferon-stimulated gene in human airway epithelial cells and is detected in specific cell subsets across tissues

Project description:There is pressing urgency to understand the pathogenesis of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus clade 2 (SARS-CoV-2) which causes the disease COVID-19. SARS-CoV-2 spike (S)-protein binds ACE2, and in concert with host proteases, principally TMPRSS2, promotes cellular entry. The cell subsets targeted by SARS-CoV-2 in host tissues, and the factors that regulate ACE2 expression, remain unknown. Here, we leverage human, non-human primate, and mouse single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) datasets across health and disease to uncover putative targets of SARS-CoV-2 amongst tissue-resident cell subsets. We identify ACE2 and TMPRSS2 co-expressing cells within lung type II pneumocytes, ileal absorptive enterocytes, and nasal goblet secretory cells. Strikingly, we discover that ACE2 is a human interferon-stimulated gene (ISG) in vitro using airway epithelial cells, and extend our findings to in vivo viral infections. Our data suggest that SARS-CoV-2 could exploit species-specific interferon-driven upregulation of ACE2, a tissue-protective mediator during lung injury, to enhance infection.

The SARS-CoV-2 receptor ACE2 is expressed in mouse pericytes but not endothelial cells – implications for COVID-19 vascular research

Project description:Humanized mouse models and mouse-adapted SARS-CoV-2 virus are increasingly used to study COVID-19 pathogenesis, and it is therefore important to learn where the SARS-CoV-2 receptor ACE2 is expressed. Here we mapped ACE2 expression during mouse postnatal development and in adulthood. Pericytes in the central nervous system, heart and pancreas express ACE2 strongly, as do perineurial and adrenal fibroblasts, whereas endothelial cells do not at any location analyzed. In a number of other organs pericytes do not express ACE2, including in the lung where ACE2 instead is expressed in bronchial epithelium and alveolar type-II cells. The onset of ACE2 expression is organ-specific: in bronchial epithelium already at birth, in brain pericytes before and in heart pericytes after postnatal day 10.5. Establishing the vascular localization of ACE2 expression is central to correctly interpret data from modelling COVID-19 in the mouse and may shed light on the cause of vascular COVID-19 complications.

LC-MSMS of HEK 293T cells transfected with Flag-EV or Flag-ACE2

Project description:Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the causative agent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Alongside investigation into the virology of SARS-CoV-2, understanding the host–virus dependencies are vital for the identification and rational design of effective antiviral therapy. Here, we report the dominant SARS-CoV-2 entry receptor, ACE2, conjugates with small ubiquitin-like modifier 3 (SUMO3) and pharmacological intervention of ACE2 SUMOylation blocks SARS-CoV-2 infection as well as viral infection-triggered immune responses. E3 SUMO ligase PIAS4 prompts the SUMOylation and stabilization of ACE2, whereas deSUMOylation enzyme SENP3 reverses this process. Conjugation of SUMO3 with ACE2 at lysine (K) 187 hampers the K48-linked ubiquitination of ACE2, thus suppressing its subsequent cargo receptor TOLLIP-dependent autophagic degradation. TOLLIP depletion leads to the accumulation of ACE2 and the elevated SARS-CoV-2 infection. Collectively, our findings suggest selective autophagic degradation of ACE2 orchestrated by SUMOylation and ubiquitination can be targeted to future antiviral therapy of SARS-CoV-2.

A chemically-targetable transcription factor-chromatin remodeler interaction underlies SARS-CoV-2 susceptibility

Project description:Identification of host determinants of coronavirus infection informs mechanisms of viral pathogenesis and provides novel therapeutic targets. Here, we demonstrate that the mSWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex promotes coronavirus infection and represents a host-directed therapeutic target. SMARCA4 catalytic activity is required for mSWI/SNF-driven chromatin accessibility at the ACE2 locus, which is essential for ACE2 expression and virus susceptibility. Recruitment of mSWI/SNF complexes to ACE2 is mediated by mSWI/SNF binding to the transcription factor, HNF1A, enabling complex occupancy and chromatin accessibility at sites containing high HNF1A motif density. Notably, small molecule inhibition of mSWI/SNF catalytic activity abrogates ACE2 expression confers resistance to SARS-CoV-2 variants and infection of primary human airway cells by 5-logs. These data highlight the role for mSWI/SNF-mediated chromatin remodeling activities in conferring SARS-CoV-2 susceptibility and identify a potential new class of inhibitors to combat COVID-19.

RNA-Seq of Human iPSC-cardiomyocytes infected with SARS-CoV-2

Project description:Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a viral pandemic caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). COVID-19 is predominantly defined by respiratory symptoms, but cardiac complications including arrhythmias, heart failure, and viral myocarditis are also prevalent. Although the systemic ischemic and inflammatory responses caused by COVID-19 can detrimentally affect cardiac function, the direct impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection on human cardiomyocytes is not well understood.
